Instructions

1. Step 1: Cook 4 slices bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until crisp, then remove and chop into 1/2-inch pieces, leaving 1 tbsp bacon grease in the skillet.
2. Step 2: Add 1 medium peeled and diced russet potato (1/4-inch cubes) and 1/2 small diced onion to the skillet with bacon grease. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes until potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
